Strogatz, Dehaene in Conversation

Mr. Honner's math site led me, today, to a wonderful Princeton video of psychologist Stanislas Dehaene and mathematician Steven Strogatz in discussion of mathematics, cognition, and teaching (also touches on the relationship between subject-matter interests and neuroscientific disorders). The video is long (79 mins.) and I've only watched part of it thus far (including Strogatz's wonderful initial section starting around the 23.30 mark). Highly recommended if you have the time:
